~Ah yeah, I remember now.

From my reading of the script this is some sort of left over testing or demo script.

TBH I think it's bloody decent of amazon to leave a nice worked example of getting the system into an X ready mode.

I have hacked mine very slightly - but TBH I don't think I am even getting as far as the hacks. I know SO VERY LITTLE about X and the supporting superstructure on linux it's almost embarrassing.

But, I figure like always, dig around, bring the information together in one place and see if anyone helps. Hawhill showing interest has cheered me up a bit as have your good self.

If anyone can find the switch to disable the call to the tty then I am all ears.

I have of course been sequentially through the likely looking switches and tried some likely values. I get a sense that the kernel requires some support it doesn't have but I am still in the dark. Possibly I can use something to provide the tty. I'm looking into what getty does etc...
